Our City Sidewalks, Editor Journal: We do not believe that there is a town in the United States east of the Mississippi river of the size ot Mew tserne, that contains such a diversity of miserable sidewalks; it seems to us that human ingenuity has been stretched to its utmost limits in trying to make them as bad as possible, it is now high time that some action should be taken by our city authorities in the matter; and we urge that now is the proper time. We can have finer sidewalks than any town in tho State, and at less expense. We have the best and cheapest material for the purpose; viz: Uyster sholls. JNow, Mr. .Editor, we suggest the following plan: First, get Mr. Henry Marshall or some other We are having very bad weather this pleased and every one present enjoyed week.
